K-Rain RPS616 Controller Owner's Manual - Irrigation Direct

INTRODUCTION 

This unit is available in six, nine, twelve and 

sixteen station configurations. Designed for 

residential and light commercial applications, 

this controller has four separate schedules 

with up to sixteen start times a day to ensure 

efficient watering of a wide variety of 

landscapes. Different areas may require 

individual watering schedules and often use 

different types of sprinklers. 

EXAMPLES: Turf areas generally use gear 

drive sprinklers and require less frequent 

but heavier watering. However, flower beds 

use pop up sprays and require more frequent 

watering. Stations (valves) which water 

similar landscape areas are often grouped 

together and put into the same program. 

Stations (valves) will water in sequential order 

from the lowest number and on the days 

selected. Maximum watering duration for a 

station (valve) is 12 hours and 59 minutes. 

This controller has a 7 day watering schedule 

with individual day selection per program or 

a 365 calendar for Odd/Even day watering or 

selectable interval watering schedules from 

everyday to every 15th day.

FEATURES 

A feature of this controller is the water saver 

feature which allows quick adjustment of the 

station watering times by percentages as the 

seasons change. 

Another key feature of this controller is the 

Rain Sensor Ready technology (RSR) which 

allows individual stations to be controlled by 

a rain switch. The switch will automatically 

stop the watering programs for selected 

stations during wet periods.

PROGRAMMING INSTRUCTIONS 

INTRODUCTION 

This controller has been designed with 

four separate programs to allow different 

landscape areas to have their own individual 

watering schedules. 

A program is basically a method of grouping 

stations (valves) with similar watering 

requirements to water on the same days. 

These stations will water in sequential 

order and on the days selected. 

The important elements of programming 

your controller are: 

• Group the stations (valves) which ar e 

watering similar landscapeareas together. 

Examples: Turf, flower beds, gardens. 

These different groups may require 

individual watering schedules. 

• Plan your watering schedule 

completing the planner supplied at the 

back of this book. 

• Set the current time and correct day 

of the week. 

04 www.krain.com 

SET AUTOMATIC PROGRAM 

• Set the automatic program for each 

group of stations (valves) by completing 

the following three steps: 

1. Set Starts 

This sets the time when the watering 

schedule is to commence. Note: For each 

start time, all the stations (valves) selected 

for the program will come on in sequential 

order. If two start times are set, the 

stations (valves) will come on twice. 

2. Set Watering Days 

These are selected days when the 

automatic system will be active. 

3. Set Station Run Times 

This sets the watering duration required 

for each station (valve). 

PROGRAMMING EXAMPLE (right) 

A typical example of a 12 station system 

is outlined to the right as a guide to assist 

you when planning your watering schedule. 

In this example, the lawn areas are using 

gear driven sprinklers. The garden is using 

drip and the flower beds are being watered 

using pop-up sprays.

FIELD WIRING CONNECTIONS 

PREPARATION 

1. Prepare wires for hook-up by cutting the wires 

to the correct length and stripping approximately 

.25 in. (6.0mm ) of insulation from the end to be 

connected to the controller. 

2. Ensure terminal block screws are loosened 

sufficiently to permit easy access for wire ends. 

Insert stripped wire ends into the clamp aperture 

and tighten screws. Do not over tighten as this 

may damage the terminal block. 

3. A maximum of 0.75 Amps may be supplied 

by any output. Check the inrush current of your 

solenoid coils before connecting more than two 

valves to any one station. 

POWER SUPPLY CONNECTIONS 

Inbuilt Transformer 

It is recommended that the transformer is not 

connected to a 120V AC supply which is also 

servicing or supplying motors (i.e. Air conditioners, 

pool pumps,refrigerators, etc.) Lighting circuits are 

suitable as a power source. 

This inbuilt transformer model, is suitable for 

outdoor installation as the housing is weatherproof 

and UV stabilized. However, it is recommended that 

the unit be installed in an area which is not exposed 

directly to the weather.

WARRANTY 

K-Rain products carry a “LIMITED WARRANTY”. For two 

(2) years from the date of manufacture, K-Rain will repair 

or replace (at K-Rain’s option) the product or any part, if 

the product is found to be defective as to workmanship 

or material. This warranty does not extend to damage to 

a K-Rain product resulting from misuse, neglect or abuse, 

normal wear and tear, or accident, to exterior appearance 

or color or due to improper installation. This warranty 

extends only to an original user of a K-Rain product. 

IN NO EVENT SHALL K-RAIN BE LIABLE FOR 

INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. ALL 

IMPLIED WARRANTIES ARE LIMITED IN DURATION 

TO TWO YEARS FOLLOWING DATE OF MANUFACTURE. 

Some states do not permit the exclusions or limitation 

of incidental or consequential damages or of implied 

warranties. Therefore, the above exclusions or limitations 

may not apply to you. 

If a defect arises in a K-Rain product within the warranty 

period, you should promptly contact your K-Rain 

distributor or K-RAIN MANUFACTURING CORP. 

Please allow up to 4 weeks for completion of repairs 

or replacement and return of product. If a product is 

replaced, the replacement product is covered only for 

the remainder of the original warranty period dating from 

the purchase of the original product. 

This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may 

also have other rights which vary from state to state. If 

you have any questions concerning the warranty or its 

application, please write:
